owm-weather

After looking around a bit and seeing a handful of FOSS plugins along with some premium plugins I landed on this one to power a weather widget on one of my sites. I’m quite pleased with it overall in that I’ve put together a fairly simple widget using the built-in customizations (of which there a A LOT). That said, let me offer a bit of feedback for future releases:1. The ‘no bypass’ nomenclature makes for an odd UX. I wish it were changed to more conventional like ‘default’ or whatever would a more mainstream equivalent because the other two choices «shome on all weather» or «supress on all weather» doesn’t exactly help users understand what they’re bypassing or not bypassing.2. The icon fonts render with a sizeable gap above them which makes it hard to vertically center templates like Card 1. I haven’t found a solution yet but I’m digging into it still.3. It would be much easier to style if the templates used flexbox — at least the most simplified ones (Card 1, 2) don’t. Other than that, great work. It’s a lovely plugin and I look forward to seeing how it progresses over time!

A few months ago I would have left a 5 star review for this plugin. However, for the past 2 months the API refuses to update the temperature anymore. I left it there thinking it might eventually get fixed but it hasn’t. The temperature here is not 75 degrees 24 hours a day. I’ve cleared the cache, tried changing the timezone with override, and I’ve tried making a new «Weather» post. Contacted customer service and never got a response. Guess it’s time to switch to a service that works since you guys won’t help me resolve the problem.

Very nice and easy plugin to use, I do LOVE the functionality to add custom pics or videos in relationship to the weather conditions, it would be GREAT if, for each weather condition, the user could choose between two images (for the day and for the night) (I’m using picture of my city landscape, and it would be great to add night picture too) based on sunrise/sunrise time.

I recently came across the OWM Weather plugin and I must say it has completely revolutionized the way I display weather information on my WordPress site. This plugin offers a comprehensive set of features and customization options that make it stand out from other weather plugins available. I highly recommend OWM Weather.

Love it. Works very well, lite. Highly customizable once you understand how the settings work. And you will, his site has the best docs and examples I have ever seen. Amazing and for free.

Good install instructions. Got it up and running on the site quickly. At first I had layout issues, but then I realised I had to set the weather settings option to disable loading of bootstrap as it was fighting with an existing bootstrap-based theme and the bootstrap.css files were different.
